Tert-Butyl alcohol

Ter-butyl alcohol is like a special juice made from tiny bits of things called atoms that join together to make a liquid. This liquid is special because it can make other things change in a special way. It is made from three special types of atoms: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These little atoms stick together in a group called a molecule which is important because it makes ter-butyl alcohol strong and can change things. People use ter-butyl alcohol to make other things like medicines or cleaning products because it has special powers to do different things to different things.
